The 3rd installment in Jonathan Scales' musical saga, Character Farm & Other Short Stories, is a 45-minute dive deeper into the compositionally-twisted work of steel pannist Jonathan Scales. The nine original instrumental "stories" on the album take listeners from the primal "Jam We Did" to the lush "Hallucinations of the Dream Chasers". The title track "Character Farm" takes the audience into a chilled, 'worldly' ride after the frantically emotional "The Longest December". Guest appearance on the record include Jeff Coffin (of Dave Matthews Band / Bela Fleck & the Flecktones), Yonrico Scott and Kofi Burbridge (of Derek Trucks Band fame) and the dazzling work of fiddle virtuoso Casey Driessen.
